Chapter 53: First Arrival in the Underworld
The other side.
Bang! Bang!
Li Xiaoran and Yan Jinjin fell to the ground almost at the same time, only a hundred meters apart.
"Ahem, Second Brother, it hurts so much." Yan Jinjin got up in a panic and said with a sad face when she saw Li Xiaoran not far away.
Li Xiaoran quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, frowned slightly, and looked around at the unfamiliar environment: "Junior brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yan Jinjin ran to his side and asked anxiously, "Where's the little one? Why can't I see her? What should I do? Second Brother."
Li Xiaoran's eyes flashed with worry, but he quickly calmed down: "Don't panic, Junior Sister has great luck, you and I both know that she has Xiaoshu's protection, nothing will happen.
Let’s find her first.”
Li Xiaoran has almost blind confidence in his junior sister.
At this moment, a strange wave came from the shadows not far away.
The two men immediately became alert as a slender figure slowly walked out of the diffuse gray fog.
The woman was dressed in a plain white long dress, her appearance was cold and extraordinary, and her temperament carried a kind of holiness that was incompatible with this world, but her whole body emitted a subtle vibration that resonated with the breath of the underworld.
"Sister, how did you get here from over there?"
Li Xiaoran saw who was coming and cried out in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief because Li Yue had been in the jade pendant he carried with him.
It was only at this time that Li Xiaoran saw the jade pendant on the ground not far away, and Li Yue was bending down to pick it up.
"Maybe the formation of this underworld is different and can detect everything. Xiaoran, I feel very comfortable here."
"Second brother, is this your sister? How did she come out of the jade pendant?" Yan Jinjin knew nothing about this. He thought his senior brothers and sisters came to the underworld to play.
"Junior brother, this is my biological sister Li Liyue. She is now a spirit body. We came to the underworld to send my sister to learn spiritual cultivation or ghost cultivation. Sister, this is my junior brother Yan Jinjin."
Li Yue glanced at Yan Jinjin and nodded slightly: "Hello, Junior Brother Yan, you are so cute."
Her voice was like the collision of jade. With a reply of "You are so cute", Yan Jinjin immediately scratched her head embarrassedly and greeted her.
I have to say that Yan Jinjin's reaction is different from that of normal cultivators. Normal cultivators are disgusted with souls, but Yan Jinjin is different. He even says that it is amazing that he doesn't have to live in the house and can hide at any time on rainy days. He is very envious of him.
"Sister, the situation in the underworld is complicated now. I'm afraid we need to make a long-term plan." Li Xiaoran hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Yan Jinjin. She was too unreliable and was about to say that he was cheated out of his job and had no house to live in.
Now is not the time for small talk.
Liyue smiled and signaled him to be patient.
"I was bored earlier, so Xiaobai gave me a few miscellaneous books. She didn't know that some of them were related to the cultivation of the Taiyin Refining Spirit Art and the spiritual body. This world does have the opportunity I need, and I can sense that I need to find it myself. Xiaoran, you and Junior Brother Yan go find Xiaobai.
I will find a place to become a disciple myself. Although the underworld is complicated, don't forget that your sister will thrive in this environment. Besides, the spirits I have refined are also here, so you don't have to worry about me."
"But sister, the underworld is complicated, so it's better for us to be together."
"Xiao Ran, you don't have to worry about me. You have to believe that your sister is not a weak woman, and she also wants to become stronger. When you become a golden elixir in the future, she will meet you openly and honestly, and then we will settle the score together.
Xiaoran, you are not a child anymore, go ahead, don't forget that you are still a senior brother of the sect." Li Yue understood that everyone has their own destiny and opportunities that they must face, and if they want to become stronger, they must work hard.
Li Yue turned her gaze to the distance, as if she could penetrate the layers of gray fog: "I have sensed the existence of someone who is suitable to pass on my Taoism. I need to go there immediately to become his disciple."
She looked at Li Xiaoran and the other person and said with a faint smile: "Go find Xiaobai, otherwise I will be angry."
Before she finished her words, a faint silver glow appeared around her and her figure became blurred again.
"elder sister."
Li Xiaoran wanted to ask more, but Shen Qingyue had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the wilderness in an instant, leaving behind only a few vague words.
"Xiao Ran, we will meet again when fate brings us together. Sister will never break her promise this time."
"Second Brother, what should we do now?" Yan Jinjin was still reluctant to leave Li Yue. After all, Li Yue was the only person who was gentle to him besides Xiaobai. Of course, there was also Junior-Junior Sister Yuyan, but she treated him with respect, which was different.
Li Xiaoran retracted his gaze, his eyes became firm again: "It is important to find my junior sister first."
The two identified the direction and headed towards a place with relatively less yin energy, and began their journey of searching in the underworld.
Xiaobai blinked his big watery eyes and looked curiously at the endless line in front of him.
There are all kinds of "people" in the team, floating souls, solid ghosts, and even a few guys with strange auras that don't seem like pure ghosts.
Everyone moved forward silently and numbly.
It's gloomy and foggy here, but Xiaoxiao is not afraid at all.
She was just a newbie, so this was nothing. She swallowed and quietly cheered herself up.
The main reason was that she had originally followed a kind-looking sister after waking up, but the gray fog was too thick and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiaobai pursed his lips and decided not to run around for the time being.
She saw a queue in front of her, and based on the principle that "more people means more information", she stretched out her short legs, ran over and obediently lined up at the end of the queue.
"Well, uncle, what are you guys rehearsing?" Xiaobai tilted his fair and tender face and asked in a baby voice a soul next to him that looked a little dazed.
The soul seemed to have not been spoken to for a long time. It slowly turned its head and looked at Xiao Bai with empty eyes: "Queue up, queue up to enter the city."
His voice was like a leaky bellows.
Xiao Bai asked again: "Why do we have to line up in pairs, uncle?"
"Because that's the rule." The man said mechanically and turned around to continue queuing.
Xiaobai looked carefully again and saw the long, crooked queue in front of him.
There are souls and ghosts of various shapes floating in the team, some are blurry and unclear, and some are full of resentment.
She walked with her short legs, clattering towards the end of another queue at the nearby entrance.
An old ghost who looked quite old and had a solid figure glanced at her, somewhat surprised by this little creature.
Xiao Bai asked the same question again: "Grandpa, what are you lining up?"
The old ghost was stunned for a moment, as if no one had called him that for a long time. His tone softened a little: "Wait for the door to open."
"Door?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Well, the passage to the underworld has been closed for a long time, and ordinary souls can't get in."
The old ghost sighed, "It's just that every once in a while, the higher-ups show mercy and open a crack to accept some new ghost cultivators, and occasionally let in a few ignorant spiritual cultivators to gain experience or die."
Xiaobai tilted his head. So that's how it is.
She curiously poked a quiet-looking female ghost next to her and said, "Sister, if Ling Xiu comes in, won't he be discovered? It's so strange here."
The female ghost didn't seem to want to talk, but stared at by Xiao Bai's pure and harmless eyes, she still said coldly: "If there is a way, there is a way."
The old ghost next to him took over the conversation with a hint of inexplicable meaning: "Yes, just like those big forces secretly sent people in, they all had to take the "Forget Life Pill" in advance.
That is a forbidden drug in the world of immortal cultivation. It can temporarily cover up the breath of living people. If you don't look carefully, no one can tell that it is hot among the ghosts. "
Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat.
She remembered the bitter pill that the old ancestor of the Li family stuffed into her and her two senior brothers before they entered this world.
So this is its use.
She whispered, "Is this place big?"
"Big? More than big!" The old ghost came to talk about sex.
"Today's underworld is divided into four major cities, namely 'Youdu', 'Fengdu', 'Yinluo', and 'Huangquan'.
Each city has a great king guarding it, and I heard they are all old monsters who survived from ancient times."
Xiaobai silently wrote down this information.
The four great cities and the ancient king sound so powerful.
